Arkansas V6

Hahahaha. I know what ya mean. I plan on finding a more stable solution. Just too busy enjoying them right now. And im down here in Little Rock.

I changed my rotors out (all 4) to drilled and slotted GT rotors a year or two ago... with ceremic pads... if anything, it looks good, but braking showed no improvement at all.

Drilled and slotted is just asking for troubles/cracks...
They are not needed for daily use.
Specially the holes...

jdphillips73

been using mine for daily use for almost 2 years, no problems whatsoever, however, I do get compliments on them all the time.

did you get the 12 in rotors (dont remember exact size) or the 13.2s jdphllips?

I upgraded this last fall and put in ceramic pads. So much better and cleaner. It is not one of the more noticable mods, but probably the best.

I put GT rotors all the way around... (the back are the same on the v6 and gt)...

I had to change the caliper brackets on the front to make the bigger rotors fit on the front..
heres a pic of them on my car..

Are those 12.4 2005-2009 GT rotors/caliper brackets
or are those the big 13.2 2012 GT rotors/caliper brackets
with those 17" OEM rims?
Can you even get the 13.4s inside the 17" OEM rims?

Easy way to remember the various sizes of GT rotors is:
12.4 starts the sequence with 13.2 next that is exactly
dead center of the 14" Brembo upgraded brakes.
12.4" 200-52009
13.2" 2012
14" BREMBO UPGRADE
Its an 8" jump each time...
It is 11.8" on the rear of all 2005-2009
and 11.5" for the V6 front rotors.
Thats a big jump from 11.5" front rotors to 13.2" front rotors
even with the same dual piston calipers and brake pad area.
The increased distance from the rotational axis really
gives you a lot more mechanical advantage.

these are 2005-2009 gt rotors, not the newer ones... sorry for any confusion
